Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Risk factors for the development of depression include a history of the loss of a close family member and substance abuse. Bipolar disorder is characterized by periods of mania with periods of depression. The client is not describing or demonstrating these periods. The client may or may not be experiencing extended grief. There is not enough information to determine if the client is demonstrating sadness.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A, B, E

Administration of flu vaccines, feeding schedules, and instruction to adolescents on dental floss usage are all health promotion and/or maintenance topics. Treatment of pneumonia would not be a topic for health promotion and maintenance, as pneumonia is an acute illness. Teaching parents how to perform pulmonary drainage and cupping on their ill child is not considered health promotion and maintenance, as it is treating an acute illness.
